Managing the Changing Political Environment in Urban Waterfront Redevelopment

School of Urban and Regional Planning, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6, gordond{at}post.queensu.ca.

Political issues in urban waterfront redevelopment projects are examined in this paper, based upon case studies in New York, London, Boston and Toronto. The perspective of the redevelopment agency is adopted when considering techniques for managing the changing political environment over the decades that it takes to implement these projects. The specific issues which are addressed include start-up politics, managing changes in political leadership, allocation of benefits and managing relations with residents and local government. Effective waterfront redevelopment agencies take a long-term approach towards management of their political environment.
